I think the bump AMD had in Q4'24 was because Nvidia was so scared to launch the Blackwell GPUs with Ada cards still on shelves (Iwonder why...) that they dried up the market, leaving users almost no choice but to buy AMD cards.

Since the chart is shipments, I also think that most of the shipments for the 9070(XT) actually happened already in late 2024. AMD wasn't shipping many RDNA 3 cards anymore, either, so I think most of that spike was for the then-imminent launch of the 9070(XT). Remember that AIBs were ready for launch only to be told by AMD to wait for 2 more months.

Nvidia was also shipping its 5090 and 5080 cards back then.

But yes, it's hard to point the exact reason why the market had such big swings in so little time.
